Same people complaining about cost of gas going up 4 cents will have $2000 worth of Halloween decorations on their house.
When I was young most families had 1 car. Today it seems most of my friends everyone in the family over 18 has to have their own car. And many of them are BMWs. There are people legitimately hurting and there are people with absurd expectations as to what they are somehow entitled to.

In my opinion, anyone who has any money leftover for collectibles (or ridiculous Halloween decorations) is doing all right. A lot of people are just spoiled--including by years of zero inflation.
